haha!!! I know, sometimes when I review my rules, I think WOW--I do have a lot for a 6 word short form publication!!

However, once you submit and publish a story to our pub, it's easy to duplicate the format:) You can just go into the draft of last 6 word story and copy and paste it into a new story, and then just change the title, subtitle and tags, and write your new story.

As well, believe it or not, I designed the submission guidelines so that it makes it easier (and faster) for me as an editor (along with my two co-editors) to review the incoming submissions and publish them.

We just look for the key things re: formatting & the photo & story guidelines. Our brains are attuned to precisely what we're looking for. The stories are meant to be short, 2 mins or less, so it's not as daunting as having a long-form publication.

Anyways, I know you're just having fun with me and I appreciate your Ph.D. humor on this! You don't need a Ph.D btw...just the key to crack the code haha!

And I know you get the rules...cuz you've published many stories with my pub before and I appreciate reading them! THANK YOU:)

Cheers, Mary:)
